#3You can have all of the upvotes they'll let me give you. It's amazing being "all grown up" and looking out and realizing that highschool and all of the shit that happens while growing up has almost no connection to the real world.

#5By motivating the boy, I believe it could only strengthen his own motivation. Keep it up.

#6Slightly off-topic, but still relevant: a great quote from Alain de Botton:
"Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that's ok with them."

#7The author's observation about high school is exactly why my kids, by default, will be home schooled. If they decide they want to go to public or private school at some point, I'll let them. Unlike a lot of kids that end up getting bullied, they'll know that their attendance is completely optional. I'm not looking to shelter them from the real world, only the fake miniature society that exists at school.

#8Interesting. I learned during my tenure in college (still here) that everyone is weird.. has their quiddities and more over it's more or less isolated from what is really going on outside of it. You really aren't lonely, as per say. You always have the opportunity to connect to people who aren't similar to you, but quality over quantity I say. :)

#9Awesome.
On a side note, I wonder why this culture of popularity has to be the default in our schools?

That is now one of my favorite quotes of all time. What a great start to my day reading that.
